Question: When is Bluffton's fireworks? - Answer: Not this year

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 24, 2013 - 8:34am

What question is asked almost as often as: “When is Halloween in Bluffton?”  That question is: “When is Bluffton’s fireworks?”

This year’s answer is: “There is none this year.”

In previous years the Bluffton-Pandora Rotary Club provided fireworks as part of its Freedom Fest, held on the last weekend of June at Bluffton University’s Salzman’s Stadium.

Last year the Bluffton Lions Club took on the project, however the June 29 windstorm seriously impacted the event and the only portion of the ‘Fest was the fireworks show.
